The design of new quantum algorithms has proven to be an extremely difficult task. This paper considers a different approach to the problem, by studying the problem of 'quant...
Contextual information is important for sequence modeling. Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and extensions, which have been widely used for sequence modeling, make simplifying, often u...
We propose a new approach to the problem of searching a space of policies for a Markov decision process (MDP) or a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), given a mo...
During face-to-face interactions, listeners use backchannel feedback such as head nods as a signal to the speaker that the communication is working and that they should continue sp...

— This paper presents a new mathematical model for the human behavior called Stochastic Switched Linear Dynamical (SS-LD) model. The SS-LD model can be regarded as a natural exte...
